Oklahoma WRs Jadon Haselwood, Theo Wease enter transfer portal

Two of Oklahoma’s most productive wide receivers — Jadon Haselwood and Theo Wease — both five-star prospects coming out of high school, have entered the transfer portal.

Their moves came after coach Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma for Southern California. Quarterback Spencer Rattler also entered the portal on Monday.

In addition, since Riley’s departure was announced Sunday, at least six high school players who had pledged to the Sooners have decommitted.

Haselwood led the Sooners with 39 receptions and six touchdowns this season, and has 62 receptions for 736 yards and seven TDs in 28 career games. He was the No. 1 wide receiver and No. 4 overall player in the Class of 2019, as ranked by the 247Sports composite.

Wease was the No. 3 receiver and No. 21 player in the same class, and after he tied for the team lead with 37 receptions for 530 yards and four touchdowns last season, he missed the 2021 campaign with a lower leg injury. He has 45 receptions for 666 yards and six touchdowns in 24 career games.

Rattler’s decision was not a surprise, insofar as he started the season as a Heisman Trophy candidate but by midseason had lost the starting quarterback job to freshman Caleb Williams.

But Haselwood and Wease are top talents in the OU receiver room and have three seasons of eligibility remaining.
